The origins of Longsha Park are related to the difficulties faced during the Boxer Rebellion. As the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded our country, the Russian army occupied the northeast region and the city of Qiqihar in Heilongjiang province. They did not withdraw until the 33rd year of Emperor Guangxu's reign. By that time, the granaries had been looted and occupied by the Russian army. At the same time, the Russian army also built the Russian Consulate in the western part of the granary site, and the first consul took office in June of the same year. In order to maintain ownership of the land, Cheng Dequan reclaimed the land from the Russian side in the name of creating a park.
During the Qing Kangxi period, in order to resist the aggression of the Russian Empire, according to the decree of Emperor Kangxi, a military base was established in the vicinity of Qiqihar, and a post station called Bukui was built near the Mashi Temple, starting the construction of Qiqihar city. At that time, immigrants and garrison troops from Shandong and Hebei, as well as a large number of Hui Muslim people, followed their religious traditions of building mosques wherever they went. Therefore, during the process of building Qiqihar city in 1684, several mosques were constructed, which became the original East Mosque. Through multiple renovations and expansions, it has become the Islamic religious architecture with distinctive Chinese characteristics that we see today. Bukui Mosque consists of three parts: East, West, and Women's sections. It is one of the largest and relatively well-preserved mosques in Heilongjiang Province. The exquisite architectural art of the main hall (prayer hall) and the memorial hall combines religious and classical architectural styles of our country.
Dojo of Five Moral Paths
"The Moral Academy of Five Religions" is a religious place that integrates Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the Five Religions. In April 1923, Chen Fuling, the chairman of the Cihui Association in the provincial capital, and others, under the pretext of "moral degradation in modern times", advocated the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and Islam into a unified entity, with the aim of "educating the disaster-stricken people, preaching, and promoting harmony among different people". They initiated the establishment of the Moral Academy of Five Religions in Heilongjiang Province.
Qiqihar Museum
The museum houses over 5,000 cultural relics, showcasing the rich history and art of Qiqihar. It integrates relic collection, archaeology, preservation, research, and exhibition, systematically collecting and displaying precious historical relics representing ancient, modern, and contemporary Qiqihar. Through permanent and special exhibitions, it comprehensively showcases the local historical development, vibrant culture, and introduces Chinese civilization and world culture to the public of the city.
Black Dragon River Military Governor's Office
Established in the second year of the Republic of China (1912), the Heilongjiang Military Government Office was under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang government and served as the command headquarters of the national army. Twelve important military and political figures of Heilongjiang, including Song Xiaolian, Zhu Qinglan, Bi Guifang, Bao Guiqing, Wu Junsheng, Wan Fulin, and Ma Zhanshan, held official positions there. It also served as the command center for Ma Zhanshan's resistance against the Japanese in Jiangqiao during the Republican era.
